The play is set after the rule of the Pinochet regime in Chile as victims like Paulina are imprisoned by their own memories. Director Leticia Càceres describes the play as part of her heritage as she acknowledges the horrors shared by many South Americans and others all around the world.
Written by Ariel Dorfman, the play won the 1992 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play. It will star Puberty Blues’ Susie Porter, Eugene Gilfedder (QTC’s Macbeth) and Steve Mouzakis (MTC’s The Cherry Orchard).
